Although the centralized RAN (C-RAN) architecture can significantly relieve the BS overheads by centralizing BS functions, the strict front-haul requirements of C-RAN make it challenging to realize a fully centralized RAN. Recently, the virtualized RAN (V-RAN) architecture has been proposed, allowing flexible function split (FS) and crosshaul to balance the centralization and mid-haul requirements. On the other hand, considering the tidal effect of traffic, sleep some BSs with low loads and migrating their traffic to other BSs is an effective way to further reduce energy consumption. In this paper, we investigate joint BS sleeping and FS orchestration in crosshaul-based V-RAN that jointly optimizes BS working mode, FS, traffic migration, and routing selection. The joint optimization model is formulated as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) that minimizes total expenditure, including RAN energy consumption and operating overheads. Considering the complexity of the problem, we propose a heuristic algorithm to solve it in polynomial time. Simulation results validate that our algorithm can save significant expenditure compared to baselines, and the results can reach within 1.13 times the optimum in a relatively short time.","PeriodicalId":259116,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114737268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, the performance is investigated by utilizing the selection of the best ORS from the multiple available ORSs. Firstly, we have derived the exact probability density function (PDF) of the end-to-end maximum instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) among multiple ORSs-aided FSO links. Further, using the above PDF statistics, the outage and average symbol error rate (SER) expressions of the considered multiple ORSs system are derived in closed-form. Additionally, the asymptotic expressions, which are mathematically more tractable, for both outage and average SER are presented with the diversity gain analysis.

Furthermore, we implement and analyse two supervised learning models: multiple linear regression (MLR) and multiple non-linear regression (MNLR) using the least squares method to predict the probability of direct discovery in PS out-of-coverage scenarios. Experimental data collected in real-time heterogeneous environments has been used to train both models. The comparative analysis indicates that MNLR model is 6 % more efficient compared to MLR model to predict the discovery probability. The impact of this work is that it is possible to deploy the equipment to build reliable connectivity for efficient D2D networks in out-of-coverage emergency scenarios, and can bring intelligence to the UE level to adopt the optimal parameters to establish a stable D2D link.","PeriodicalId":259116,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"333 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131460129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These algorithms are difficult to adapt to high-speed mobile scenarios. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an adaptive streaming media transmission method using edge computing, High-speed rail status and cross-layer information (EHCI) in the 5G network environment.

The 5G New Radio (NR) networks based on 3GPP have introduced several enhanced features to allow the accurate positioning of user terminals. Especially Frequency Range 2 (FR2) mmWave setups are attractive for localization because the large bandwidths allow for high-resolution estimation of the Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) while the beamforming capabilities can be exploited to estimate the Angle of Arrival (AoA) or Angle of Departure (AoD) of the signals.In this work, we propose a new UE-based positioning algorithm that combines the Downlink Time Difference of Arrival (DL-TDoA) and Downlink Angle of Departure (DL-AoD) information estimated from the downlink positioning reference signals (DL-PRS) introduced in 3GPP Rel-16. TDoA is a widely used horizontal positioning technique that does not require tight synchronization between base stations and mobile stations. Moreover, multiple antennas beamforming on base stations leads to high vertical positioning accuracy with AoD. We use ray-tracing-based site-specific channel models to evaluate our joint positioning algorithm’s performance in an Indoor Factory (InF) scenario. The simulation results show sub-meter user localization error which is a significant improvement compared to applying the previous methods separately.","PeriodicalId":259116,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128866038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
